Brief Answer:
Please specify the drink you want to use to help with weight?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and am sorry for the situation you are in.

Can you please specify for what drinking you are referring to?

If it is related to alcohol, I'd suggest not to try it as it will worsen your actual anxiety situation.

Looking forward to have more details on what you want to drink to help with weight!

Brief Answer:
Can take it safely...

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

Thank you for your further clarifications.

I have gone through the review of the product you want to consume called "Ensure", and have noted that it consists of many nutritional ingredients and vitamins and minerals that will help you meet your daily needs.

You can try it safely. Once you notice anything unusual, please stop taking it and report to your doctor.

If no improvement with your weight, I highly recommend to consult with your doctor to run further tests to determine the cause of losing weight apart foods you eat.

Hope you'll get good results!
